The recent form makes for interesting reading. In its last six races, Bear Right has finished third, third, fourth, third, seventh, and has one run where the result is not recorded — a sequence that paints a picture of a horse that is remarkably consistent in finding a way to finish just behind the winner. Three thirds in recent outings is not the form of a no-hoper; it is the form of a horse that keeps knocking on the door. The frustrating part, of course, is that knocking on the door does not pay out.
What works in Bear Right's favour is the yard it calls home. Mrs John Harrington, based in Moone, County Kildare, is one of the most respected names in Irish racing, and the operation has sent out 53 winners already this season — a figure that speaks to a team that knows how to get horses to win races. When a trainer of that calibre keeps running a horse, it usually means they believe the win is coming. Bear Right raced just one day ago, so it is clearly fit and active, and the team have not given up on finding the right opportunity.
The question hanging over Bear Right is simply this: can it convert all that placing into a victory? A horse that finishes in the top three as often as this one does has the ability — it just needs everything to fall right on the day. With a trainer of Mrs Harrington's quality in its corner, the chances are that when it does finally win, nobody in that yard will be particularly surprised.
